S-11 Redux: (Channel) Surfing the Apocalypse

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the don't-turn-that-dial dept.

Halo1 writes "The Guerrilla News Network has made a great 11 minute movie, culled from over 20 hours of footage from different channels. It's a lightning fast razorsharp analysis of the post 9/11 coverage by the general media and gives you quite a different view of the politicians and their calls for war. It's insightful, frightning and funny at the same time (we need a new mod option! :). The links on the movie page go to the Windows Media version at the Sundance Online Film Festival (they're competing with that movie), but they also have Quicktime versions available locally: low and high bandwidth (links posted with permission from all involved parties)."

    Please kick around the idea of returning to technology and related news- y'know, stuff that matters.

    Leave the stories with such an obvious political bias to the political and general news sites, of which there is no obvious shortage. They do a better job.

    Alternativately, find an interesting political story that doesn't come out of the same old, tired, pseudo-radicalist mindset and attempt to provide the same standards of objectivity and balance that would be expected of a news organization.

    I saw this a long time ago and the comments on that site claimed it was old.

    Found it:

    December 2001.

    Go slashdot, on the bleeding edge.

    I remember when this site was innovative and the editors cared and the stories were new.

    the movie is available in two PROPREITARY FORMATS.

    maybe slashdot should post links that their target audience (linux users) can ACTUALLY WATCH.

    How do they expect to watch this?

    There is no Quirktime and no Windoze Media for my system available and this is not going to change.

    But there is Realplayer available and DivX and MPEG, the later two even work on my PDA.
